What we share, he found, are what he calls ordinary virtues tolerance, forgiveness, trust, and resilience. When conflicts break out, these virtues are easily exploited by the politics of fear and exclusion, reserved for ones own group but denied to others. Yet these ordinary virtues are the key to healing and reconciliation on both a local and global scale.n nMakes for illuminating reading. n--Simon Winchester, New York Review of Booksn nEngaging, articulate and richly descriptive... Ignatieffs deft histories, vivid sketches and fascinating interviews are the soul of this important book. n--Times Literary Supplementn nDeserves praise for wrestling with the devolution of our moral worlds over recent decades. n--Los Angeles Review of Booksn
